11:00 am
it's a risk for investors, and talk about whether the technology breaches like yesterday will become more common. dagen: apple promises to return a hundred billion dollars to shareholders in buybacks and dividends, but it's not enough to prop up stock. connell: not enough. got the attention of board rooms, and one could force the breakup of pepsi. dagen: your facebook passwords, some employers want it. the judge will tell you if it is their right to have it or not. those stories and so much more coming up on markets now. ♪ connell: all right. dagen: embarrassed by your facebook page? connell: no, nothing out there for the public to see. dagen: unfortunately. connell: the judge is fine with everybody having your password. dagen: i'm sure. it's a fight of regular laters
11:01 am
versus state laws, you name it, it's a hot button issue. connell: it is. we'll talk about that and apple, of course, but top of the hour, nicole at the new york stock exchange to start us off. there's a lot of company today looks like. >> i do. these are the lovely high school girls from new york in a commerce class here with john checking out the place learning about the markets. all right, let's see what we are talking about. the dow jones industrials down by ibm. they are two names that are weighing, and they are worth 30 negative dow points. that is weighing, but on the other hand, there's a name like boeing which is adding more than 20 # dow points. we are in the thick of earning season, each is a market moving event for each of the companies, and they sometimes real suede major averages. watching apple as well, which has gone back and forth, and the u.s. dollar flat, oil, gold higher this morning, and, of course, we continue to talk about what we saw yesterday, the
11:02 am
big drop on the dow jones industrial after one o'clock losing 146 points on the dow, and then managed to bounce back. john actually talked about the fact that he was buying when it was lower. there are some people who made money on that big move. back to you. >> thank you so much, nicole. that's right, two minutes, and 2 # 00 million in market loss. stocks tanked after a fake tweet from ap came out about explosions at the white house. it was, of course, a hoax, a hack attack, and it's prompting a fresh look at cyber security and the vulnerability of not just the stock market, but what about our economy? i -- elizabeth joins us by phone, former fcc attorney, and mark rash, creator and former head of justices computer crime unit. mark, starting with you. i'm not surprised by this. are you? why not?
11:03 am
>> the conference in stockholm earlier this month where they talked about exactly how twitter could be hacked and how news feeds could be hacked to manipulate stock prices. we knew it was possible and what happened so we have to be prepared for it. >> dagen: stay on that. not prepared, clearly, are we? look at it two ways. basically, it was dispelled, this hoax very quickly, and the market, within a minute after the drop bounced back to where it was before the news came out. >> right, but we're not prepared from security stand point or a securities standpoint. if i i know i can leak information, and i know the stock prices of either one stock or the whole market's going to drop quickly, i can belt on those fluxuations created. we need better security on all the ways we communicate with the public. dagen: elizabeth to you, securities attorney, used to work at the fcc. what do you make of this?
11:04 am
were you surprised by the damage and extremist or terror groups could do to the stock market and the economy just with one little sentence? >> caller: i was surprised, but maybe i shouldn't have been. this is really, seems to me, consistent with the spammers who used to, five years ago, went after spammers who sent mass e-mails buy this penny stock, and the mass mailings would not be based on anything so i shouldn't have been surprised to see this, but i am. it was scary; right, to see how quick selloffs was, and the only thing that stopped it was the loss of liquidity. that's unserving. that's a problem. dagen: posing the same question to both of you, mark, to you first, though. is this illegal? you have this group taking create for it, a syria electronics group. is it illegal?
11:05 am
any way to go after the people who perpetrated this? >> the answer is ill illegal in a lot of ways. the actual hack is illegal, to break in, violates the computer federal crime law. the deceptive trade practices with fake information is illegal, and the stock manipulation is illegal, and if you traded based on stock manipulation, that's illegal. are we going to find these people? they have done this before, have for 18 months, and they have not been caught yet. dagen: fcc side, elizabeth, do they need to prove they intended to manipulate the market by putting this tweet out? >> caller: to some degree, indeed, the fcc has to deal with mens rea, but they can say it's wreckless for the hackers not to realize they were going to negatively impact the stock market, so i don't think there's an issue for the fcc if the fcc and doj can, together, track down the attackers.
11:06 am
dagen: mark, ending with you, is the upside of this, i suppose, that this happened now, wakes people up, maybe the damage was limited in this market drop, and now people can be prepared for it, whether it's companies, whether it's the government, whether it's investors? >> well, you know, interesting thing is nobody's validated whether or not it happened, the bombing at the white house. it was not important to investors. it is important to trade on rumors. vulnerabilities exist. we have to do a better job of securing all the ways that we communicate with the public, twitter and facebook as well. dagen: really quickly, does that mean going into a two-step verification process which you can do with google, for example, already today? >> yeah, it's called two-factor authentication. it's a good start. dagen: mark, thank you so much for that, mark and elizabeth, thank you so much to both of you. connell: all right.
11:07 am
one of the other big stories of the day today, and that would be apple. last night, apple comes out, better than expected, second quarter earnings, strong ifog, ipad sales, personning capital to shareholders by the end of 2015. with us, the president issue chief executive officer, $600 million in assets to talk about where to go from here. it's classic -- thank you for coming on. you know, light on revenue, third quarter margins are light. do you see it half empty or half full story going forward for apple? >> a half full story. are you a trader, investor? can you have a 12-month horizon, an 18-month horizon? connell: what's the positive case for apple? down already, but way off the highs. what's the positive case to buy here? >> number one, the market is growing. forget about the market share,
11:08 am
just the market's growing. apple sales in china and japan year over year, up 100%. they are in mobile in china, ths another 700 million people. smart phone sales are currently about 38%, growing to 65% in 2015. the market's good for everybody. con cop right. >> that's a good thing. connell: comparatively then, as cool as apple's been for years, others say, well, it's not as much anymore. others caught up, and now they are the hot companies, the cool phones and tablets you want to have. >> well, that's just wall street. love you today, hate you tomorrow. apple innovated well so far this year, probably for another three to six months they come out with something that's going to stimulate the appleoians.
11:09 am
connell: like they are an ancient people. why guaranteed that's the case? in the steve job's era, that's assumptions they made, but tim cook, not so much, no steve jobs. those cairn tees, assumptions made in the past are not worth making anymore. >> it was smaller. it's going to grow smaller, 37% margins, it's selling at 8.8 earnings. connell: you like the pricing? >> not growing at 15-20 to 30%. the price is off,ic, for looking forward, but the analysts need to listen. they didn't like tim cook so i think we have a small problem here for the next little while that analysts don't like how it is, lost luster. it's an opportunity. at this price, you can buy and hold. connell: have you done it? >> in it for a long, long time,
11:10 am
our entry price was $193. connell: in good shape. market's down, but what do you think? >> yeah, given the numbers this morning, looking for a little bit of a swoon like we had last year. connell: durables? >> durables a little bit light, consumers are not going to spend as much, so i'm not expecting much at the end of the year, a great quarter, and if we finish 8% better than this, happy boy. connell: thank you very much for coming in. appreciate it. >> sure, my pleasure. dagen: airlines are not running on time, but what washingtonments to do to get plaps back in the air. connell: big time investor could force pepsi to break up. how about that? ♪ [ shapiro ] at legalzoom, you can take care of virtually

illinois river there rose more than 29 feet, and that e clipts a 70-year record. the national weather service expects waterways to be high next month. those are the headlines. back now to dagen. dagen: thank you. the activist is shaking it up for pepsi and ceo. connell: the fcc timing show that they increase the stake both in pepsi and the snack company spun off by kraft. the ceo says she's not interested in breaking up pepsi, but there was a statement last week saying it's been talking with the firm about, quote, opportunity to drive long term growth and shareholder values, so, you read into it, and damm yen joins us now, watching pepsi here in studio. thank for coming in. >> my pleasure. connell: good idea to break up pepsi? >> pepsi, on its own, a good company. they are a global leader in snacks, number two behind coke
11:23 am
in beverages globally. they are doing fine. what's not working as well is the north american beverage business. i think from a shareholder perspective, i think things are improving and stock will be fine just as is; however, i do think if you were to break up the company, there is value, and if you were to merge and ways to do it and in an efficient mapper issue emerge pepsico tax business, you have a bigger snacking giant, which, i think, giving synergies in the top line and bottom line as well as scale, especially internationally. connell: right. >> internationally, both earn less as percent of sales because they don't have the scale yet so this would help. dagen: looking at the two stocks, coke, first, pepsi stock in 52 weeks out performed coca-cola, up nicely, but pepsi up 26%, coke up 15%. why is that? why would you make a move with
11:24 am
pepsi if the stock is performing so strongly, but is it because people think there might be some sort of spinoff of that business? >> i think you're right. the last point. i think, a, the stock has done well because business improved, but, b, i think there is a bit of stock -- you know, people -- the whole idea of splitting up beverages and snacks is not new, been around for two years. what's new and intensified, we know that nelson peltz owns 2.7 billion in both pepsi stocks. well, i think investors think perhaps something will happen k and for good reason, they have a history of doing things behind the scenes, talking to management k making sure they maximize value. they got involved with cadbury in 2006, and kraft spinoff. there's a reason why people are excited. connell: bigger picture, trends been around for awhile, the idea of the drinks business for the huge companies, coke and pepsi, obviously, the big ones, slowing
11:25 am
down. i mean, that -- finding ways, just generally speaking, other ways to look at to find growth when fewer people drink soda because they want healthier alternatives? >> sure. the last statement about fewer people drinking soda is only accurate for the united states. connell: overseas, not the case? >> still growing. plenty room to grow. per cap ratios, they are tiny what we drink here in america. people drink less soda in the u.s., but still drink a lot of drinks. both pepsi, especially, coke as well, they have a repertory of things they offer customers like vitamin water, propel, gatorade, and cola is the problem. it is declining in the u.s.. it's hard to offset with other categories, but, remember, the u.s. population is growing, and they favor beverages in particular. temperature years from now, over five to ten years, we'll be

they reelect all 17. back to you. cheryl: we knew that she would surface somewhere. dennis: a hack attack sending markets into a died yesterday. a fictitious tweet appeared. that was enough to freak out wall street. we are now hearing reports of a possible syrian connection? >> the syrian connection has long been suspected, not only in
12:02 pm
this attack, but other attacks over the last couple of months. dennis: what is a theory and group? >> an organization that is allied with the president over there and they are just doing things to promote his side of the argument. dennis: elizabeth macdonald, they found that after that ap tweet happened, suddenly there was a 300% surge in the ap twitter site. 3000 people retreated this bogus report. liz: that is right, dennis. when not twitter feed went out
12:03 pm
and took many companies out. the question for lawmakers -- the fact that the markets are so hardwired to news flow and market news is now released on twitter and the fact that the sec is allowing social media to be used, you have to say, wait a second, the markets need another layer of protection. dennis: i cannot think of a more reliable more instantaneous medium right now than twitter.
12:04 pm
so much is utterly unedited and unchecked. why would wall street in its wildest imagination the attaching trades to twitter? >> wall street is looking for all kinds of information. they are always looking for that edge. the larger point candidly is how do we use social media and how do we use social technologies? dennis: who do you blame more in this? do you blame p or do you blame twitter because its system is not bulletproof enough? >> and perhaps also blamed the people who are relying on that information. i think there is enough lame to go around. we always have to remember that.
12:05 pm
as far as blame for twitter goes, they may need to do things to increase the security of their product. they are in the process of doing so. dennis: i am seeing reports that there is a simple two-month process. liz: that is right, dennis. it is requesting the user to authenticate that they are the proper person to be using this. what is twitter's response? it has said it will do better in protecting the system. again and again, why is the fcc allowing companies to disclose important market moving information without first making sure that twitter is bulletproof , that it cannot be
12:06 pm
hacked. i think they have to say wait a second, they have to be able to authenticate who is using the twitter feed. this is an inconvenience. it hurts their own credibility. dennis: let's get a last point from you, eli. >> i think twitter need to do more to secure their product. it is not just something you know. it could also be something you have, for example a token or an extra. that may be texted to your phone, for example. i would just be reluctant to add more regulatory burdens on

12:35 pm
if they hold on to the gains. >> exactly. >> is it because this crop of ipos are better quality than in the past, or is it that we as inveesers are optimistic and hopeful? >> it's a combination. the low volatility, but, also, i think the quality of the companies is very good. the companies we've been bringing out are solid companies with very big addressable markets, good growth, and seen really interesting companies come out of the last few months. >> as an investment banker adviser a client to go public, get them as much money as possible, the fact they are up 15% on average, doesn't mean they did a bad job because they should have priced them higher? >> no, i think they did a good job. people expect to get some price deappreciation on an ipo, and when bankers do a bad job is when the stock goes up 15% or a crazy number like that or drops significantly. 15% is what you shoot for.
12:36 pm
>> oh, i see. now, i was thinking the facebook effect, the negative effect of a botched ipo back in may of 2012 # was going to hurt the market for ipos. did you see that happen, and has it worn off? >> yes, it happens, took wind out of the sails of the ipo market. we had a lull in ipos until late in the fall of last year, but we had the elections so we have not seen an uptick in ipos until recently. we have a really big backlog of ipos. i think that's the thing people have not seen because under the jobs act, you file confidentially, and people don't know what the size of the backlog is. i think there's well over a hundred companies right now confidentially filed. >> yet, there's complaints over years for venture capital groups that the ipos are diminished and reduced by sarbanes, why the increase now if that was true? >> the jobs act is kicking in,

suit. i didn't want to. it was the last thing we wanted to do, but, in fact, if i could say something, frankly, i think it distracted imtel more than amd. they have more challenges today than they had for the last -- dennis: missing on the shift to these now fading laptops and big computers. your big complaint in the case was intel went to customers say i don't -- saying you can't order rival products. they were competing aware of you guys, nipping at the heels; right? >> as a matter of fact, that's the irony. when you have fair competition, there's transformation of innovation. if you take exation, there's incremental exation. they fought in the wars, took the eye off the ball. rather than making a
